The parliamentary elections scheduled for December 6, 2020, are an exciting topic, evidenced by the statements and agreements on them, by Trump, Pompeo, the EU, UK, countries as distant and dissimilar as the so-called International Contact Group where South Korea, Israel, Canada, and the Lima Group are. Venezuelans should be satisfied with such devotion towards us. There seems to be a dilemma: legitimate participation (recognizing the government) and those who do not participate in order not to endorse it, also denounce that they are fraudulent, everything is absurd. The anti-fraud right is a coup plotter and at the same time, the Maduro government invites them to participate which would be like absolving them of all guilt. You have to go vote.
Le Comité Central du DIP (Parti Révolutionnaire des Travailleurs) de Turquie s'est réuni ce week-end et a adopté une déclaration sur la guerre dans le Haut-Karabagh. Ce qui suit est une version abrégée de cette déclaration, omettant les détails les plus contingents et transitoires et s’occupant des aspects les plus structurels et durables de la question.
27-28 Eylül’de, önce Ermenistan’ın Azerbaycan’a bağlı bölgeleri top ve havan atışıyla vurması, ardından da Azerbaycan ordusunun tüm cephe hattı boyunca karşı taarruza geçmesiyle Dağlık Karabağ’da savaş yeniden başladı ve hızla tırmandı. Savaş yeniden başladı diyoruz çünkü Azerbaycan ve Ermenistan arasında ilk kıvılcımları daha Sovyetler Birliği’nin dağılış süreci içinde 1988’de ortaya çıktıktan sonra 1992’de başlayan savaş 1994’te ilan edilen ateşkese rağmen bir barış ile sonuçlanmadı ve Dağlık Karabağ ve etrafında bulunan bazı bölgeler o zamandan bu yana Ermenistan ordusunun işgali altında bulunuyor. Ateşkes süreci içinde zaman zaman küçük çaplı çatışmalar yaşanmış olsa da bölgedeki çok yönlü güç dengesi yeni bir savaşın çıkmasına engel olmuştu.
The Central Committee of DIP (Revolutionary Workers Party) convened over the weekend and adopted a statement on the war in Nagorno Karabakh. What follows is a shortened version of that statement, omitting the more contingent and transitory details and dwelling on the more structural and durable aspects of the question.
A revolta popular de massas na Bielorrússia, manifestada em ondas sucessivas de manifestações de protesto e greves de trabalhadores contra o regime burocrático de Lukashenko e sua brutalidade policial, dá início à crise mais explosiva no antigo espaço soviético após os eventos ucranianos de 2014. Em sua especificidade, é, em todos os sentidos, não apenas uma grande crise nacional ou regional, mas internacional, com vastas ramificações internacionais e implicações sociais, políticas e geopolíticas globais.
Greece, where the borders of EU are, is also the entrance of thousands of war refugees from the third world. Among families with small children and babies, there are around 400 children with no family at all, no hope and no future.
The european countries, among them Finland, are obligated to provide asylum to these children, if they still want to call themselves civilized. It is about small kids, who at the age of 10 years old show suicidal tendencies among other psychological reactions. The main reason for these reactions is the post-traumatic shock about what they had been through during the war in their countries and also the treatment they had into the refugee camp of Moria.
Hristo Rakovski Uluslararası Sosyalist Merkezi, Avrupa’nın, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nin, Ortadoğu’nun ve tüm dünyanın işçilerini ve ezilenlerini hem devlet baskısına ve polis şiddetine hem de Bonapartist bürokratik rejime, AB yanlısı neoliberal muhalefete ve AB/NATO müdahalesine karşı, Belarus halkıyla dayanışmaya çağırıyor.
El Centro Socialista Internacional "Christian Rakowski" hace un llamamiento a todos los trabajadores y pueblos oprimidos en Europa, las Américas del levantamiento popular, Oriente Medio e internacionalmente a mostrar su solidaridad práctica con el pueblo de Belarús contra la policía y el estado, tanto contra el régimen burocrático bonapartista como contra el liderazgo opositor neoliberal y proeuropeo, derrotando la intervención imperialista UE/OTAN.
События, происходящие в Беларуси после президентских выборов, за которыми с тревогой и обеспокоенностью следят все люди, желающие блага Беларуси и ее народу, вызваны целым рядом связанных между собой внутренних и внешних причин, точнее противоречий. В конечном счете, эти противоречия вызваны эволюцией капитализма в бывших советских республиках, в Европе и во всем мире. Как таковые они могут быть разрешены только в ходе и в результате преобразования «периферийного» и всякого иного капитализма в социализм, в новое общество, где, наконец, лозунг Великой французской революции «Свобода, равенство, братство!» станет реальностью, а лозунги Великой русской пролетарски-крестьянской социалистической революции в октябре 1917 г. «Фабрики – рабочим! Землю – крестьянам! Власть - Советам! Мир – народам!» обретут новое полноценное содержание и развитие в действительности.
The events that have taken place in Belarus since the presidential elections, which have been watched with alarm and concern by all people who wish to benefit Belarus and its people, are caused by a number of related internal and external contradictions. Ultimately, these contradictions are caused by the evolution of capitalism in the former Soviet republics, in Europe and around the world. As such, they can be resolved only during and as a result of the transformation of "peripheral" and all other capitalism into socialism, into a new society, where finally the slogans of the Great French Revolution "Freedom, Equality, Brotherhood!" will become a reality, and the slogans of the Great Russian Proletarian-Peasant Socialist Revolution in October 1917 "Factories – for the Workers! The land is for peasants! Power - Soviets! Peace - to the nations!" will gain a new full-fledged content and development in reality.
Сто лет назад открылся Первый Бакинский съезд народов Востока, организованный Коммунистическим Интернационалом, самой передовой организацией в современной истории пролетариата и трудящихся всех стран, всемирной партией революции. Основанный в 1919 году, под звездой славной Октябрьской революции 1917 года, положившей начало не только созданию первого рабочего государства, но и всему процессу мировой революции, Коминтерн вдохнул новую энергию в силы прогресса на Ближнем Востоке и в Северной Африке. (MENA).
La sollevazione popolare di massa in Bielorussia, manifestatasi in successive ondate di dimostrazioni di protesta e scioperi dei lavoratori contro il regime burocratico di Lukashenko e la brutalità della sua polizia, ha avviato la crisi più esplosiva nell’ex spazio sovietico dopo gli eventi ucraini del 2014. Per la sua specificità è, in senso stretto, non solo un’enorme crisi nazionale e regionale ma anche internazionale, dalle vaste ramificazioni internazionali e implicazioni sociali, politiche e geopolitiche globali.
The mass popular upheaval in Belarus, manifested in successive waves of protest demonstrations and workers strikes against the Lukashenko bureaucratic regime and its police brutality, initiates the most explosive crisis in the former Soviet space following the Ukrainian events of 2014. In its specificity it is, in every sense, not solely a huge national or regional but an international crisis, with vast international ramifications and global social, political and geopolitical implications.

Exatamente cem anos atrás, foi inaugurado o Primeiro Congresso dos Povos do Oriente de Baku, organizado pela Internacional Comunista, a organização mais avançada da história moderna do proletariado e dos trabalhadores de todos os países, o partido mundial da revolução. Estabelecida em 1919, sob a estrela da gloriosa Revolução de Outubro de 1917, que inaugurou não apenas o primeiro estado dos trabalhadores, mas também todo o processo de revolução mundial, a Comintern soprou uma nova energia nas forças do progresso no Oriente Médio e no Norte da África.

Le Parti Révolutionnaire des Travailleurs (DIP) de Turquie condamne dans des termes les plus forts possible les menaces de mort qu’a dirigées Thierry Veyrier, délégué du Rassemblement National dans le Val-de-Marne envers camarade Anasse Kazib, militant syndical et du NPA, menaces accompagnées des photos de personnes inconnues pendues. Ces menaces, contemporaines avec l’attaque raciste de la magazine Valeurs Actuelles contre Danièle Obono ainsi que celle dirigée contre la famille d’Adama Traoré et Taha Bouhafs, nous montrent que quelque chose bouge dans les milieux fascistes, proto-fascistes et d’extrême-droite en France.
صد سال پيش در چنين روزي، پيشرفته ترين سازمان همه ي زحمت کشان و كارگران در تاريخ مدرن، اولين كنگره ي خلقهاي مشرق زمين، در باكو توسط حزب انقلاب جهاني كمونيزم بين الملل افتتاح شد. انقلاب پرشکوه اكتبر ١٩١٧ که تنها به تأسيس اولين دولت كارگري جهان اكتفا نكرده بلكه در زير ستاره ي درخشان اش روندي در انقلاب جهاني برپا کرده بود، در سال ١٩١٩ با افتتاح كمينترن به نيروهاي خاورميانه و آفريقاي شمالي جان تازه ايي دميده بود.
100 yıl önce bugün, tüm ülkelerin proleterlerinin ve emekçilerinin modern tarihte görülmüş en gelişkin örgütü, devrimin dünya partisi Komünist Enternasyonal tarafından düzenlenen Bakü Birinci Doğu Halkları Kurultayı açıldı. Yalnızca ilk işçi devletini kurmakla kalmayıp, aynı zamanda tüm bir dünya devrimi sürecini başlatan görkemli 1917 Ekim Devriminin yıldızı altında 1919'da kurulan Komintern, Ortadoğu ve Kuzey Afrika'nın (ODKA) ilerici güçlerine yeni bir enerji üflüyordu.
Yüz il əvvəl bu gün bütün ölkələrin proletarlarının və zəhmətkeşlərinin müasir tarixinin ən mütəşəkkil təşkilatı, inqilabın dünya partiyası Kommunist İnternasional tərəfindən təşkil olunan Bakı Birinci Şərq Xalqları Qurultayı açıldı. Nəinki ilk fəhlə dövlətinin, habelə bütövlükdə bir ümumdünya inqilabı prosesinin əsasını qoyan şanlı 1917-ci il Oktyabr inqilabının ulduzu altında 1919-cu ildə qurulan Komintern Orta Şərq və Şimali Afrikanın (OŞŞA) qabaqcıl qüvvələrinə yeni ruh verdi.
One hundred years ago to the day, there opened the First Baku Congress of the Peoples of the East, organised by the Communist International, the most advanced organisation in modern history of the proletariat and the toilers of all countries, the world party of revolution. Established in 1919, under the star of the glorious October revolution of 1917 that ushered in not only the first workers’ state but also an entire process of world revolution, the Comintern blew new energy into the forces of progress in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
Aujourd’hui c’est le 52ème jour de la grève des travailleurs d’une entreprise agroalimentaire, Haft Tapeh, en Iran. Cette grève historique est le fruit des années de la lutte des travailleurs contre la privatisation et afin de gagner leurs droits.
Il y a exactement 80 ans, le 20 août 1940, un pic à glace brandi par un agent stalinien a brisé le crâne de Trotsky, entraînant sa mort le lendemain. Ce pic à glace ne visait pas seulement l'un des plus grands révolutionnaires du XXe siècle, l'un des intellectuels les plus influents de son temps sur la scène internationale, l'un des plus grands théoriciens du marxisme de tous les temps, mais aussi la continuité du bolchevisme et de la Révolution d’Octobre en Russie et dans le monde. Il s'agissait donc d'une tentative d'assassiner l'héritage de Lénine, le plus grand révolutionnaire du XXe siècle.
Naves das Marinhas de Guerra no Mediterrâneo e no Egeu em comoção, aviões de caça ziguezagueando no ar e, por trás de tudo isso, os interesses das classes dominantes da Grécia e da Turquia em confronto severo. Esse confronto pode até resultar em um desastre de guerra. Os estados burgueses grego e turco apresentam reivindicações conflitantes sobre suas respectivas jurisdições marítimas. Aqueles que defendem essas reivindicações também fingem que estão defendendo seus próprios interesses nacionais em benefício de seu próprio povo. A verdade é exatamente o oposto.
Πολεμικά πλοία στη Μεσόγειο και το Αιγαίο σε αναταραχή, μαχητικά αεροπλάνα που κάνουν ελιγμούς στον αέρα και πίσω απ’ όλα αυτά, τα συμφέροντα των κυβερνουσών τάξεων της Ελλάδας και της Τουρκίας σε έντονη σύγκρουση. Αυτή η αντιπαράθεση μπορεί να οδηγήσει ακόμη και σε καταστροφικό πόλεμο. Τα αστικά κράτη, ελληνικό και τουρκικό, προβάλλουν αντικρουόμενες αξιώσεις για τις αντίστοιχες θαλάσσιες δικαιοδοσίες τους. Εκείνοι που προβάλλουν αυτούς τους ισχυρισμούς προσποιούνται επίσης ότι υπερασπίζονται το εθνικό τους συμφέρον προς όφελος του δικού τους λαού. Η αλήθεια είναι το ακριβώς αντίθετο.
It was exactly 80 years ago, on 20th August 1940, that an ice-pick wielded by a Stalinist agent shattered Trotsky’s skull, leading to his death the next day. That ice-pick was not aimed only at one of the greatest revolutionaries of the 20th century, one of the most penetrating intellectuals of his time on the international scene, one of the greatest theoreticians of Marxism of all times, but also on the continuity of Bolshevism and of the October revolution in Russia and internationally. It was thus an attempt at assassinating the heritage of Lenin, the greatest revolutionary of the 20th century.
Respect the great man! Carry on the work that he considered the most important work of his life! Return to Bolshevism, the Comintern and Lenin! If you do not, then all your efforts to follow him will fail because that was the mission he set himself. Moving away from Lenin puts a revolutionary movement, whatever the phraseology used, at a distance to Trotsky as well. Thus the watchword should be clear: return to Trotsky via Lenin. So that you can lead the hundreds of thousands of honest and sincere rank-and-file workers and youth in the so-called communist parties to Lenin via...
Navíos en el Mediterráneo y el Egeo en conmoción, aviones de combate zigzagueando en el aire, y detrás de todo esto los intereses de las clases dominantes de Grecia y Turquía en severo enfrentamiento. Esta confrontación podría incluso resultar en un desastre de guerra. Los estados burgueses griegos y turcos presentan reclamos contradictorios sobre sus respectivas jurisdicciones marítimas. Quienes promueven estos reclamos también fingen que están defendiendo su propio interés nacional en beneficio de su propio pueblo. La verdad es exactamente lo contrario.
Doğu Akdeniz’de ve Ege’de denizde donanmalar, havada savaş uçakları, hepsinin arkasında ise Türkiye ve Yunanistan’ın hâkim sınıflarının çıkarları karşı karşıya gelmiş durumdadır. Bu karşı karşıya gelişin bir sıcak savaş felaketiyle sonuçlanması tehlikesi dahi mevcuttur. Yunanistan ve Türkiye burjuva devletleri bölgede deniz yetki sahaları ile ilgili farklı tezler ileri sürmektedir. Bu tezleri ileri sürenler aynı zamanda kendi milli çıkarlarının, halklarının menfaatlerinin savunucusu olduklarını iddia etmektedirler. Ancak gerçek bunun tam tersidir.
Navies on the Mediterranean and the Aegean in commotion, fighter planes zigzagging in the air, and behind all of this the interests of the ruling classes of Greece and Turkey in severe clash. This confrontation might even result in a war disaster. The Greek and Turkish bourgeois states advance conflicting claims over their respective maritime jurisdiction. Those who advance these claims also pretend that they are defending their own national interest to the benefit of their own people. The truth is the exact opposite.
Parties, groups, left-wing publications and Marxists from all around the world have been sending in messages of solidarity to Şiar Rişvanoğlu and the DIP (Revolutionary Workers Party) of which he is a member.

The Asociación de Profesionales en Lucha (Apel, Association of Professionals in Struggle) salutes the struggle of Şiar Rişvanoğlu from Argentina.
“If you continue to disturb the security forces of our glorious state, many other things will be shattered and scattered. Watch your step, you hateful traitor! ”
So says the notice of threat that our comrade Şiar Rişvanoğlu left after destroying his office. From Uruguay, we stand in solidarity with Siar, with the comrades of the DIP and all the fighters in Turkey, and hold the government of that country responsible for the physical integrity of our comrade.

Camarades, notre solidarité, toute notre solidarité avec le camarade Siar et avec ses camarades de DIP ! Soyez assurés de notre soutien inconditionnel pour la lutte que vous menez et le combat commun que nous portons.
Turkey has occupied the international agenda of all revolutionaries in the near past with its near-genocidal actions against the Kurdish people, both in its own territory and in Rojava. While the Turkish government’s military moves to suppress the serhildan (uprising) of Rojava, national chauvinism puts down the heads of anyone within Turkey who opposes these murderous attempts.
The United Communist Party (OKP) of the Russian Federation extends its solidarity to Şiar Rişvanoğlu and the party he belongs to, DIP
۵۶ أيام مضت على إضراب عمال شركة "هفت تبة للصناعات الزراعية". إضراب تاريخي جاء نتيجة سنوات من النضال من قبل عمال الشركة من أجل الإلغاء الكامل للخصخصة ومن أجل حقوقهم.
تم تشكيل نقابة هفت تبة في عامي ۱۹۵۳ و ۱۹۵۴. ولكن تم إضعافها وحظرها في سنوات ما بعد الثورة. في أعقاب السياسات المناهضة للعمال في الثورة المضادة الحاكمة، مثل مئات النقابات والنقابات الأخرى.
The Unitary Campaign for Liberation of Georges Abdallah, Arab Red Aid, and Naila Wardi express their solidarity to Şiar Rişvanoğlu with a message.
Une grève très importante a lieu actuellement en Iran dans l’entreprise
agroalimentaire d’Haft Tapeh. Cette grève fait face à l'oppression de
tous les secteurs de l’ordre bourgeois de la République islamique qui
s’efforce d’isoler les grévistes en entravant l’information.
The DIP (Revolutionary Workers’ Party) extends to our Lebanese sisters and brothers of all faiths and religions our heartfelt sorrow, sympathy and solidarity on behalf of the working people of Turkey for the losses you have suffered as a result of the explosion of 4th August 2020. We mourn for your dead, extend our condolences to the loved ones left behind, hope that the seriously injured will survive their condition, and wish quick recovery to the thousands of wounded.
On the anniversary of the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki and the resulting destruction of the city and the massacre of its people, we publish the message of EEK sent to the 58th International Antiwar Assembly held on 2nd of August in Japan by the Japan Revolutionary Communist League (Revolutionary Marxist Faction), the Antiwar Youth Committee and Zengakuren (All-Japan Federation of Students’ Self-Governing Associations).
